You could be able to take your dogs and cats if you travel by rail down the road.
Amtrak is testing the concept in Chicago and they would follow the same rules as planes, animals would have to be 20 pounds or less and be placed at the owners feet or under the seat in a carrier. A ticket for Fido or Fluffy would be 25 bucks and if it's successful, Amtrak could expand it further east.
